Thanks much for fixing the link Ray! A little about myself then... I rode a lot of dirt biking when I was young (long time ago) & have always loved motorcycling. I haven't owned a bike now for over 20 years  since my Honda 900CB. I've always kept my license current & have rented a few times now & then but finally bought a Honda 1300st this last may & have really enjoyed it. I've really missed that acceleration & the feel of the winding turns. My girlfriend over the last few years has no love for motorcycling (had a pretty bad accident on one when she was 16) and has always discouraged me from getting one & has been a sore spot between us. Couldn't stand it any more and just told her she didn't need to get on it. She has been on it a few times which I've attempted to make very enjoyable & never pass anyone when she's riding with me. Funny that no one passes me when I'm by self. I need some new riding buddies because staying under 60 miles an hour just doesn't cut it some times. I almost bought one of those 3 wheel spider bikes to make riding fun with her but after test riding one I just couldn't see getting it. If she wasn't with me there's no way I'd really enjoy riding that thing by myself. Just doesn't feel or ride like a motorcycle at all. Tried to add an attachment with a picture of my bike with my girlfriend on it but the "choose file" doesn't seem to be working. If u seen the picture of her you wouldn't judge me to harshly why I didnt just say goodbye to her long ago and get the bike. A gorgeous looking Venezualan who looks like Miss universe but a man has still got to have his motorcycle right? I'll stop rambling & look forward to spring & getting the bike out and hopefully can connect with some members who have been riding with the "Pace group"
